Older than dad ever was – v2

I was driving to work, quiet
my mind searching, pondering,
thinking about mom passing,
Family, other moments,
The ties that bind us…
 
Another line crossed
all of us, forever, turning,
lifetimes we have spent,
Older than dad ever was
Each day a new beginning…

Older than dad ever was – v2
 
Dad died when he was 58, three of us are older,
two more to go…
